| Abstract | Tibialis posterior tendon ruptures associated with closed medial malleolar fractures are rare. This article describes the association of tibialis posterior tendon ruptures with closed, high-energy, distal tibia fractures. Tendon ruptures are likely to be identified intraoperatively or missed if clinical evaluation at acute injury is limited. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose this injury. The consequences of an unrecognized tibialis posterior tendon rupture include progressive, painful pes planus deformities due to the unopposed action of the peroneus brevis muscle and lack of support of the medial longitudinal arch. Secondary operative intervention may be required. This article describes an intraoperative tenodesis technique between the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus tendons when direct repair is not possible.A 48-year-old woman sustained a closed AO/Orthopaedic Trauma Association type 43A right lower-extremity distal tibia fracture and a traumatic left knee arthrotomy. Temporary stabilization with an external fixator was performed, followed by open reduction and internal fixation of the distal tibial fracture 6 days later. A periarticular nonlocking medial plate was applied, and the tibialis posterior tendon was shortened. We performed a direct tenodesis to the flexor digitorum longus tendon. At 1-year follow-up, the patient had made excellent progress, with no detectable muscle weakness, and was able to perform a single-leg toe raise.A review of the literature suggested which features of radiological evidence of tendon rupture should be examined, which may be useful in the current era considering most high-energy distal tibia or pilon fractures undergo examination with computed tomography. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
